Creating our future leaders

by COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONGEditor/Publisher

John Quincy Adams said if your “actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more,” then you are a leader.

The teens of Orcas High School’s first leadership class hope their efforts will do just that for their fellow students.

“We want to motivate them to join in school spirit activities,” said senior Melanie Flint, who is also Co-President of the Associated Student Body.

The class, which is the “action arm” of the ASB, will cover topics like communication skills, group processes, managerial skills, self-awareness, human relations and Robert’s Rules of Order as devel-oped by the Washington Student Leadership program.

But leadership instructor Mike Buckner says the main focus right now is encouraging school unity

and organizing assemblies – a task that has typically been handled by a small group of students on their own time.

“Now we have regular time to get things done,” said Buckner, who is the ASB advisor as well as a math and OASIS teacher.

A few weeks after school started, the class led its first assembly with music, games and skits that dem-onstrated rules from the school’s handbook. Buckner dressed in what not to wear (like crop tops and Speedos) and modeled outfits over his regular clothes. They also addressed speeding, theft, cell-phone usage and fighting.

“The students’ response was really positive,” said ASB Co-President Hannah Brunner-Gaydos.

Next up is homecoming the sec-ond week of October. There will be school spirit events every day and an assembly at 1:15 p.m. in the gym on Oct. 10. The commu-

nity is invited to attend. At 2:50 p.m., a homecoming parade will make its way through Eastsound.

Buckner and five students went to a week-long leadership camp this summer near Mount St. Helens. The trip was funded by a grant through the Orcas Island Education Foundation.

“It was incredible,” said Buckner. “Every student who went loved it.”

After its success, High School Principal Kyle Freeman asked Buckner to lead the school’s first leadership course.

“I thought it was a great idea and I wanted to be more involved in the school,” Buckner said. “I want to help students boost their morale and school spirit.”

Under Buckner’s guidance, the ASB is also gaining new momen-

tum. Three clubs have launched this year through the program: Blue Crew Cheering Club, Debate Club, Newspaper Club and Gender Issues.

While Buckner’s leadership class includes the ASB student-elected executive council, which consists of Flint, Brunner-Gaydos, Taj Howe, Mikaela Hansen and Daria Stankevich, the course is open to any high school student.

The teens say leaders they look up to are teacher Corey Wiscomb and coaches Dennis Dahl and Scott Harris. As role models they are “spirited, funny, lead by exam-ple, are serious but not too serious and motivate you to be better.”

Foster Hildreth leading OPALCOby CALI BAGBYAssistant Editor

For eight years, Foster Hildreth has been preparing for his new role as general man-ager of OPALCO. Now as he officially takes the helm, he looks to the community to help him with the future.

“I am focusing on what the membership wants to see and how to provide the best ser-vice we can,” he said.

At OPALCO’s 77th Annual Meeting last May, it was announced that Hildreth would become general manager when Randy Cornelius retires. 

“I was groomed by Randy,” said Hildreth. “His mentorship really helped me.”

Hildreth started out at OPALCO in the finances and member services department in 2006. He was named assistant manager in 2011.

Cornelius said in a press release that “Hildreth is fully up to speed and very knowl-edgeable about all aspects of our co-op busi-ness – in fact, his contributions to date have placed us in the impeccable financial position that we enjoy today. The membership is in good hands.”

Hildreth earned his Bachelor of Science in finance and real estate and a Master’s in

business administration and finance at the University of Southern California.

Before living on Orcas, Foster was in south-ern California working as the executive man-ager for several high profile public and private enterprises. He oversaw the City of Pasadena’s $117 million seismic retrofit and rehabilitation of the 1927 historic City Hall Building. He also managed significant projects for the Disney Development Company and the Robert Mayer Corporation.

According to an OPALCO press release, “Foster has put these skills to work for our co-op by improving our processes for budget-ing, scheduling, financial tracking and project management.”

Life on an islandWhile not at the office, Hildreth said most of

his time is devoted to family, especially playing with his two kids, Stormy, 12, and Burly, 10.

His daughter Stormy is a frequent performer at community events and Hildreth can be seen at every show in the front row recording each moment.

“Watching Stormy sing is amazing,” said

Orcas Christian School is buzz-ing with sports opportunities and team building activities.

So far this year, the high school took a trip to the Puyallup Fair to come together as a student body after the months away during the summer.

Grades one through eight camped out at Moran State Park’s Cascade Lake. Some of the partici-ating kids are pictured at far right. Students enjoyed outdoor educa-

tion classes, games, and a whole-school family potluck. They also spent an afternoon in outdoor education at YMCA Camp Orkila.

OCS athletics is entering its first year in WIAA, and has opened the season with volleyball. Keep your eyes open in the Sounder sports section for updates and game re-caps.

High school electives this semester are culinary arts, person-al finance and beginning theater.

OCS will be offering PSAT, SAT, and ACT tests this year. Contact the OCS office at 376-6683 if you would like information about reg-istration for these tests.

K-8 students will take a boat trip to Matia Island on Oct. 2 (weather dependent.)

Grades three through 12 will also have ITBS testing during the week of Oct. 6-10. Students will be provided with breakfast on each of the testing days to start their

day right. OCS is also looking for community members who have a generous heart and busy hands

to volunteer with the hot lunch program on Wednesdays.

Submitted by KwiáhtThe best available scien-

tific evidence is in, and it’s a fact: San Juan County is very batty, and Orcas is the battiest island!

Kwiáht director Russel Barsh has announced results of the first systematic survey of the county’s bats in 75 years.

The study included 105 nights of ultrasound record-ings, visits to homes and barns where bats were reported roosting and visual observations includ-ing dead or injured bats received by Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. “Over ten thousand bats were heard,” Barsh says, “and that is only perhaps one percent of what’s out there.” The most bat flyovers per hour were heard above lakes and ponds on Orcas.

Nine species of bats were identified by acoustic analy-ses; a tenth species (Keen’s myotis) is probably also present but must be con-firmed genetically. “This is a significant portion of the 15 species of bats that are known from Washington State as a whole,” says Barsh.

All nine confirmed spe-cies were observed on Lopez, Orcas, and San Juan Islands, but in different pro-portions, which Barsh attri-butes to differences in the kinds of habitats that are available on each island.

“For example,” Barsh says, “Yuma myotis, which like to hunt over open water, were more abundant on Lopez, while California myotis, which seem to prefer to hunt wooded areas, were more abundant on Orcas.”

Results of the 2014 study are consistent with an acoustic survey of Lopez

in July 2013 conducted by Western Bat Working Group co-chair Ella Rowan with assistance by Barsh and Kwiáht. That study has already been submitted for publication.

The Kwiáht study also confirmed that San Juan County is an important reservoir of Townsend’s Big-Eared Bat, a federal and state species of con-cern found at only about a dozen maternity roosts in Washington. Townsends were identified on four islands. The reason for their abundance remains unclear, but farmers and gardeners should rejoice: this large,

sociable bat specializes in eating moths, in particu-lar the moths that are most destructive of orchard trees.

The Kwiáht study also confirmed that many spe-cies of bats remain in the islands over the winter, dis-persing locally rather than migrating to the mainland or hibernating. “Next year’s focus will be the disper-sal pattern of winter bats,” Barsh says, “and what it is they are eating.” He is particularly interested in a tribe of moths that tend to emerge in January and February in the woodlands.

Data summaries and graphs will be posted on the Kwiáht website and Facebook page in the next few weeks.

The American Wildlife Conservation Foundation helped fund the Kwiáht study. Barsh also expressed appreciation for the sup-port of Ella Rowan, Greg Falxa, and Nancy Williams, and the homeowners who allowed him to record on their property.

Tell us what you think Thanks from the Habitat Store

Skagit Habitat for Humanity thanks all the Orcas Islanders who donated items to the store truck on Sept. 22. So many donors showed up that the truck was full by noon at Island Market. We were glad we could help you while you helped us.

Carol and Duff want to espe-cially thank three people who real-ly helped out. Todd Shaner was super with processing and loading items, and was a face most island-ers recognized. Arthur showed up with donation items, and showed us how to pack in more things – and it turned out to be invaluable. Jeremiah was in the parking lot to contract for some labor, and when the boss did not arrive, Jeremiah pitched in to lift and load things – we would have been lost, too, without his tape measure.

So many people asked if we can come back again soon, that we are working on making that happen. It looks like we’ll be back on either Oct. 26 or 27, and will put out flyers and new releases when the date, time, and location is set. Until the Exchange is back in business, Habitat will coordinate to try to fill the need.

Gratitude for EMSI never expected to see Orcas

Island disappearing beneath me framed by my two feet; but on a gurney in a helicopter that is exactly the view.

If you find yourself with the same perspective, I assure you it will be clear that the “angels” are not above you, but on the ground in departing vehicles on either side of some rural tarmac.

Some four to seven of them will have seen you aloft, locked in place for whatever lies ahead. It is not just the medical expertise but the emotional support offered by our EMTs that brings confidence and calm to the scene.

Appreciation for these “angels” cannot be expressed often enough. As a recent passenger, I certainly want to add my special thanks to

all at Orcas Fire and Rescue who devote such time and care to their neighbors.

Maggots on the ChelanWhile waiting to board the

Chelan for Friday Harbor (from Anacortes) last week, I noticed the crew delay the sailing while the crew hosed down the deck. Why? It seems that when the solid waste transfer truck from Orcas Island is in transit on the ferry, it is deposit-ing maggots on the car deck of the ferry. Lots and lots of them.

Apparently this is a recurring sit-uation on the ferry while bringing the garbage truck to the mainland. While the ferry crew did their very best to hose off this mess, there was still a remaining pool of maggots to drive through in order to board the ferry. Not pleasant or acceptable. The solid waste transporter/ con-tractor must come up with a better solution and soon.

Thank you for MS bike ride support

On behalf of Adia Dolan, Axel Greening and myself, thank you for your generous support of our Deception Pass Classic bike ride to benefit MS! We rode 112 miles over two days and successfully raised a combined total of $2,265 to help put an end to Multiple Sclerosis.

We had planned an event to raise the money we pledged but, thanks to you, we were able to meet our goals without the event. For those

who were looking forward to play-ing ping-pong and eating chili, stay tuned: we have already registered for the 2015 ride!

Some of the highlights of the ride were: crossing four beauti-ful bridges on Day One (Skagit, LaConner, Tommy Thompson and Deception Pass); the Swinomish men who refreshed our spirits at the Reservation Road rest stop with singing and drumming; camping out at the Mt. Vernon fairgrounds (hooray for port-a-showers); our fantastic superhero-themed, top award-winning team tent hosted and staffed by our amazing spon-sors from Swedish Neurological Institute; hearing from riders and volunteers who are living with MS how much our support gives them hope; crossing the finish line on Sunday to the cheers and bell-ring-ing of appreciative volunteers and getting off of our saddles (ouch).

Thanks for your support!Suzanne Olson

Thank you, Doug MayaIn this time when we have com-

munities expressing negative opin-ions on cops across the country, it is necessary to show the GOOD report cards on these men and women who work to keep order and safety around us. It is not just the kudos we give to Doug Maya for his heroic deeds because he is the type of man who would say “he was just doing his job,” but more, it is for the sake of well-being among us that we realize our police force DOES care and works hard

Editorial

Wind, rain, a drop in temperature. Autumn announced its arrival in no uncertain terms. And so we say “So long” to another busy summer season

and “Hello” to what is, for most islanders, an opportunity to ease back on the throttle a bit in the months ahead. Or is it? Along with the fall comes a di� erent set of seasons begging for attention: elections, political campaigns, property tax measures, the start of a new school year, high school and youth sports, leg-islative sessions, the spending plans of public agencies and more. The weight of local issues tends to rise like a hot air balloon as the hustle and bustle of the summer season fades in the rear-view mirror. Here at the Sounder, we’d like to know what you think. Is the increase of pot farms cause for concern? Does the noise of Navy jets ru� e your feathers? Will ferry travel be more convenient, or perhaps more cumbersome, with a reservation system in place? Perhaps you’re already aware that the section of the newspaper devoted to letters to the editor and guest columns, the Sounder Opinion pages, is a favorite among readers. The same holds true for the Sounder website as well, www.islandssounder.com. We’re grati� ed that so many of you take the time to write, and to share your insights, thoughts and opinions both with us and your neighbors. Keep ‘em coming. Send us your opinion to editor@islandssounder.com.

I’ve seen news reports of children in Ferguson walking around the city with their hands in the air chanting, “hands up, don’t shoot!” and these are not the healthy attitudes we need our children to have. I hope more reports appear in newspapers (like this one of Officer Doug Maya) telling us how hard these

Shoes purchased for island kids

Orcas Fami ly Connections would like to extend a huge heartfelt thank you to The Sons of the American Legion who kindly purchased a record breaking 120 pairs of shoes

for local children this year. Thanks to this generous donation, these kiddos were able to start the school year off with a new pair of shoes. A special thank you is owed to Mike Heddington who single-handedly went off-island and shopped for each and every pair of shoes.

OFC is a 501c3 nonprof-it organization that works together with donors like the Sons of the American Legion to help families in need. For further informa-tion about the work that we do, or to collaborate with us on a future project please call Erin O’Dell or Kalie McGinnis at 360-376-3184 or email us at orcasfrc@gmail.com.

The Orcas Island Public Library is seeking a new trustee to begin serving Jan. 1, 2015. The length of the term is five years. The board is composed of five mem-bers who have the charge of planning the direction of the library services, mak-ing sure policies comply with laws, and overseeing the library’s expenditure of funds. Additionally, the trustees have the exciting task of working together on the Orcas Island Library Building Expansion Project: Books and Beyond.

Serving on the library board requires a pas-sion and talent for team-work, along with a belief

in the importance of public libraries. We are interested in attracting individuals who enjoy learning with and from each other. New trustees bring new ideas, and new ideas will bring continuing inspiration and energy to Orcas’ top-notch library board.

As the trustees’ handbook states, “Throughout our nation’s history, the public library has offered free and equal access to the collected

knowledge, information, and history of our culture.”

Serving as a trustee for the Orcas Public Library enables an individual to contribute to an institution that is available for every-one. If you are interested in serving as a library trustee, contact Phil Heikkinen at 376-4985 and he will guide you through the application process. All interested can-didates should speak to Phil by Oct. 10.

Hildreth. “But she got that from her mother [Chantelle Hildreth].”

Burly, on the other hand, has picked up the game of golf and left his father in the dust.

“He’s only been playing for two years, but he beats me,” said Hildreth.

Upcoming projectsAs general manager,

Hildreth is excited about continuing OPALCO’s mis-sion and getting a few items off the ground.

“Our core mandates are providing safe and reliable power, keeping rates down and embracing our conser-vation energy efficiencies and renewables programs,” he said.

Community Solar is one project hitting the islands this year. Basically the pro-gram will help people who do not have the ability to put solar on their houses to get linked in with a com-munity solar garden.

According to Hildreth, you buy a portion of the capacity of a solar panel and you get that percentage

of production out of that panel, which is essentially a credit on your power bill.

Hildreth also looks for-ward to moving ahead with broadband. After failing to reach a certain number of members to sign up online last year, OPALCO has decided to go another direc-tion by allowing those that want broadband to receive it and are willing to pay.

According to Hildreth, OPALCO continues to conduct membership sur-veys and Hildreth has seen strong enthusiastic need for it in light of commu-nications challenges after a CenturyLink underwater cable was severed on Nov. 5. Islanders experienced the loss of telephones, 911 and Internet for nearly a week.

“We are reaching out to homeowners’ associations and different groups, and there is an interest and a lot of support for broadband,” he said. “We are focusing on what we can do, not what we can’t do.”

OPALCO is already in the process of expanding their communication infrastruc-ture to maintain the reli-ability and safety of their power grid.

This expansion will allow

islanders to also use that infrastructure for broad-band.

To see a map of exist-ing and future fiber con-nections, visit  www.opalco.com/island-network  and click on “Service Locations.” The website also offers a request form for new hook-ups.

You can find out more at the upcoming OPALCO board meeting on Oct. 16 at 8:30 a.m. at the OPALCO Office, 183 Mt. Baker Road. The board will review how to move forward on broad-band for members.

For Hildreth, the pro-grams that affect members are really at the heart of his new job.

He has seen this theory play out in programs like PAL, where members round up their utility bills to the nearest dollar and donate the difference to help pay for people who can’t pay their winter bills.

“It’s that concern for the community, that’s how we move forward ... with that core of community,” he said.

The trespassing sign at Madrona Point was illegally removed in an act of van-dalism in April of 2014.

Now islanders who head that way will see there is still no sign. Is Madrona Point open or not?

County Councilman Rick Hughes said it’s com-plicated, but basically the point’s status is in limbo: not technically closed, but not officially opened by the Lummi. Hughes is taking steps to come to an agree-ment with the Lummi Nation about the status of the sacred land.

The historyIn 2007, after 17 years of

public access, the Lummis closed off the point to visi-tors, citing disrespect to the land. According to reports at the time, there were beer bottles and trash dotting the landscape, illegal campfires were left burning and dog walkers did not obey the “no dogs allowed” signs.

Although the story really

begins earlier in 1887, when a dispute over ownership of the burial ground resulted in a lawsuit brought by a group of Native Americans who argued that the Trustees of the Cemetery Association had no right to sell the land. They won the initial case, but the State Supreme Court later ruled in favor of the trustees.

The 30-acre land was sold to the Harrison fam-ily in 1890. In 1967, Seattle businessman Norton Clapp purchased the prop-erty, and in the mid-1980s he announced his plan to build a condo development. Clapp also owned most of Turtleback Mountain.

When word reached the Orcas community, a grass-roots effort to save the point was quickly launched. The project took on a life of its own, with support from the county, the Church Council of Greater Seattle and even-tually Congress, which negotiated with Clapp to purchase the property for $2.2 million. It was then turned over to the Lummi Nation. In a memorandum

of understanding signed by the Lummi Nation and San Juan County in 1989, the Lummis agreed to “man-age the property as an open space, natural area and for-est, open to individuals and groups for walking and edu-cational purposes” with per-mission of the tribe.

But when islanders mis-used the area, the Lummi installed the “keep out” sign.

Moving forwardThe county council has

approved Hughes to draft a letter to move forward with talks with Lummi leaders about joint access to Madrona Point.

“It is my hope that the San Juan County Land Bank could be a steward of the land on behalf of the coun-ty and the Lummi,” said Hughes, “so that people can respect and enjoy the multi-cultural aspects of the land.”

Hughes is drafting the let-ter now and is continuing to reach out to Lummi leaders about use of the land.

“It’s important to me and the community,” he said.

Is Madrona Point open to public?

Cozy in on an autumn evening of music with Grace McCune and Khadoma Colomby at Random Howse on Friday, Oct. 3 from 7 to 9 p.m. There is a $5 cover charge at the door.

Special guests  violinist Joel Gamble, Kevin Dickey on bass and Corey Wiscomb on guitar and voice will also take to the stage.

McCune and Khadoma join together to share their love of song. They met 16 years ago on Orcas and immediately connected through music, finding a passionate and deep reflec-tion in the other’s voice. Throughout the years they have joyously explored this connection in many

forms. From playing with each other in their living rooms, to recording and playing off each other for three consecutive years as

characters in the whacky cabaret “Enchanted Forest,” they continue to adventure together into many musical worlds.

Autumn evening of music

Local musicians Cali Bagby, Carl Burger and Marc Cohen are performing at Random Howse on Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. They will be joined by several special guests including Stormy Hildreth. The show will feature folk tunes from the Peter, Paul and Mary era as well as cov-ers of songs by Brandi Carlile, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Randy Newman.

The show is a fundraiser for the nonprofit Helping Hands Noramise founded by Orcas Islander Rosedanie Cadet. Helping Hands hopes to raise $3,000 to help fund a solar project in Haiti. Also on Oct. 9 look for yellow jars at participating businesses to make a donation for Helping Hands. Watch next week’s Sounder for a list of participating businesses.

Dr. Camille Fleming, MD, MBA, who joined Orcas Medical Center in January 2014, has been named med-ical director of the practice, according to Vince Oliver, CEO of Island Hospital of Anacortes, which manages the Orcas Island clinic.

“My family has been wel-comed so warmly to Orcas Island,” said Dr. Fleming. “I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know my patients and working with Dr. Tony Giefer and our outstanding staff at OMC.

I have also enjoyed work-ing with the remarkable vol-unteers of Orcas Medical Foundation, and with the management and medical teams at Island Hospital, whose behind-the-scenes support serves Orcas Island patients in countless, unher-alded ways.”

Tony Giefer, MD, MPH, who joined the OMC prac-tice in 2005, will continue to see patients four days each week.

“We are so fortunate to

have a physician with Tony Giefer’s experience in prac-ticing and teaching family medicine,” said Dr. Fleming. “He also has special skills in the diagnosis and treat-ment of skin disorders, FAA Class two and three medical certificate exams and sub-oxone treatment for opiate dependence.”

Dr. Giefer commented, “Camille Fleming is an excellent physician and brings an impressive under-standing of both medicine

and business operations to the practice. I believe she is ideally suited to her new role.”

Dr. Fleming and her husband John Fleming moved to Orcas Island in December, 2013. They have three children, ages 13, 10 and 7.

“At OMC, we’re putting more emphasis than ever on helping patients achieve their personal health goals – for themselves and for their families,” said Dr. Fleming.

Girls soccerThe Lady Vikings soccer

team hosted the LaConner Braves on Sept. 22 in a 4-0 loss.

The Vikings had a very tight defensive first half limiting the Braves to one break away goal. The Braves continued to put pressure on the goalie in the second half with two deep kicks and a penalty kick after a hands call.

The Vikings traveled to Friday Harbor on Sept. 24. The Wolverines won, 7-0.

Boys soccerThe Viking soccer team

started off a busy few weeks with a loss to Grace

Academy 2-0 on Sept. 15. “The score did not reflect

the way we played, our defense held strong,” said Head Coach Matt Stolmeier.

Orcas rebounded on Sept. 18 with a win against Cedar Park Christian 5-1 with Anthony Kaskurs, Wylie Kau and Javier Orantes scoring in the first half and Gwydion Marreth and Zach Waage scoring in the second half.

“The team seems to be realizing the style of play that works for the most effectively,” said Stolmeier.

Momentum continued on Sept. 23 with a 3-1 road win against Shoreline Christian.

Sept. 25 brought a rematch with Grace Academy result-ing in a 2-1 loss. Tied going into the second half after a Kau goal, Viking defense

by William Coe, Skyler Gregg, Luke Bronn and Ivan Velazquez was superb according to Stolmeier, along with “big time” saves by goalkeeper Kaskurs.

The Vikings met Friday Harbor on Sept. 27, drop-ping their first game in 10 years 5-0.

“We were missing a few players but Friday Harbor is a methodical, solid team and I believe our team learned a lot,” Stolmeier said.

FootballOn the evening og Sept.

26, the Vikings traveled to Darrington for a 45-12 loss against the Loggers.

Coach Justin Frausto, short of players in uniform, was forced to shuffle guys into new positions with no relief on the bench for the starters. Like last week, the Vikings ended the first half in a deep 21-0 deficit with Darrington executing a strong running game.

Frausto was proud of his small team, and how they fought all game and played just as hard in the second half.

VolleyballOn Sept. 24, The Vikings

volleyball team lost to the Wolverines of Friday Harbor, 3-0.

“We went to Friday Harbor and got swept by a very talented team that I think could be in the fight for top spot in our league,” Coach Gregg Sasan said.

The Vikings traveled to Concrete on Sept. 26 and returned home with a 3-0 win against the Lions.

A look back at the San Juan Islands

Join Boyd Pratt, Doug McCutchen and Mike Vouri for an evening of viewing 1890s images of the San Juan Islands by the U.S. Coast Survey's John Gilbert, scheduled from 5:30 to 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 9 in the Orcas Island Library. The program is free. Vouri will open the discussion with a look at the first survey of the islands by the Coast Survey's naval assistant, Lt. Cmdr. James Alden, and surveyor and

map maker George Davidson operating from the U.S. Coast Steamer Active from 1853-1860. Pratt will follow with insights on Gilbert's land-use T-sheets. McCutchen will then present a series of slides that capture from the same perspective today the sites of Gilbert's images.

As an Assistant (a formal title), Gilbert accomplished most of his San Juan Islands survey in the Fuca, a 45-foot (12 feet abeam with a 5.5-foot draft) steam launch built by J.F.P. Mitchel in 1882. The Fuca was in service from 1882 to 1904 on the Pacific Coast and served Gilbert well in the Strait of Georgia surveys for most of that period. The hydrographic survey, meanwhile, was being done by Lt. J.N. Jordan with the schooner Earnest.

Gilbert’s topographic maps (known as “T-sheets”) of the San Juans reveal not only details of coastlines and land, but are also accompanied by lucid narratives and photographic images that capture the islands and surrounding regions before 20th Century development.

The “T-sheets” were largely forgotten documents until reintroduced on websites of Washington State University and University of Washington.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. The Orcas event will be Nov. 8. Tickets are at www.TEDxOrcasIsland.com.

TEDx Orcas is a one-day event with more than a dozen speakers, musical performances, and more, with presenters from Orcas and across the United States. Talks are limited to 18 minutes or less. The event is being curated by Adam Farish and supported by a team of collaborators. Lunch will be offered as an add-on and will be hosted by the New Leaf Cafe.

The theme is “This IS America.” Topics covered will range from psychology and medicine, law enforce-ment, media reporting, oce-anic ecosystems, national policy and food. Farish has announced the first three rounds of speakers.

Norm Stamper and Ben Nunez

A decorated law enforce-ment professional engaging an undocumented “illegal” in an interview presenta-tion.

Stamper was a police offi-cer for 34 years; the first 28 in San Diego, the last six (1994-2000) as Seattle’s Police Chief. He has a doc-torate in Leadership and Human Behavior.

Nunez is an operator at a sawmill on Orcas. He immi-grated to the U.S. illegally, but he has proved himself an irreplaceable worker and trusted neighbor. Hundreds of local residents and at least four Democratic mem-bers of Washington’s con-gressional delegation have organized efforts to help him stay.

Katherine MacLeanMacLean is an academi-

cally trained research scien-

tist and meditation practi-tioner with a long-standing interest in the brain, con-sciousness and the science of well-being. As a post-doctoral fellow and fac-ulty member at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, she was one of the only scientists in the world studying psilocybin – a psychedelic chemical found naturally in certain types of mushrooms.

Hedrick SmithPulitzer Prize-winning

former New York Times reporter and editor and Emmy award-winning pro-ducer/correspondent, has established himself over the past 50 years of his career as one of America’s most dis-tinguished journalists.

In 26 years with The New York Times, Smith covered

Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights struggle, the Vietnam War in Saigon, the Middle East con-flict from Cairo, the Cold War from both Moscow and Washington and six American presidents and their administrations.

Gianna ToboniToboni is an Emmy-

nominated producer and correspondent who has covered stories across the United States and overseas, most recently with VICE Media.

In the last year, Toboni has produced documenta-ries on topics ranging from black markets in the North Dakota oil fields; the rise of the Palestinian Women’s National Football Team; and the legacy of Guantanamo Bay. She lives in Brooklyn.

The first annual Orcas Island Film Festival – Off the Edge will take place from October 10 to 13, focusing on a curated selec-

tion of feature length films from around the world, including three new short films shot in the San Juan Islands. View these films

and vote for Best Short Film online at www.orcasfilm-fest.com voting. Schedule

info is available at www.orcasfilmfest.com.

by KELTON SEARS Seattle Weekly

Editor’s note: The Seattle Weekly is owned by the Sounder’s parent company Sound Publishing.

T h e Wa s h i n g t o n Transportation Commission received some bizarre name suggestions from the pub-lic for the new ferry that will soon be introduced

to the fleet. Among them: “Agriculture,” “Awesome,” “G.W. Bush,” and plenty of local sports themed names — “Seahawk” being far and away the most popular sug-gestion. But after whittling down the long list, the com-mission is formally consid-

ering eight names, all Native American themed. One of the contenders, “Nawt-sa-maat,” is the name of the new regional coalition of Natives/non-Natives band-ing together to protect the Salish Sea from corpora-tions seeking to turn it into

a fossil fuel corridor.Gretchen Krampf, a

member of the Alliance, lead the charge to get “Nawt-sa-maat” on the commission’s radar after being inspired on her ferry ride to Orcas from Seattle.

“There was an article in

my local paper, The Islands’ Sounder, inviting proposed names for the new 144-car ferry, and ‘Nawt-sa-maat’ rang clear and true for me and this important work we are doing together to pro-tect and restore the Salish Sea,” Krampf said.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a firewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

ANSWERS TO PUZZLES

My name is Scarlett, the most beautifully furred feline at the Orcas Animal Shelter, and I’ll be the � rst to tell you so when you come, any day from 2 to 5 p.m. I have subtle Siamese grey, tan and brown markings, which shows my Thai breed blood line, though other in� uences have made me rounder and cuddlier. You can see us all on orcaspets.org.
